It’s all well and good to just try and blame everything on our lousy federal government and they do deserve blame on a number of issues but do you have any solutions that are more substantial than vague political taking points that are pretty to easy to acknowledge won’t realistically work, regardless of which governing party were to implement them?

...the federal government is 110% to blame for this fiasco. They are the ones that handle the ocean...
How about putting in writing that the Mi'kmaq can fish lobster 12 months of the year, with restrictions on maximum traps allowed per boat for 8 of the 12 months and to not allow fishing of lobster smaller than a set size?
Not that hard. Done, the Mi'kmaq would be pretty happy. The government is weak and does not want to be seen as the government that gives preferential treatment to a minority group against the best interests of the majority. Much like how Trudeau didn't want to have his own Oka earlier.
